Max Rameau and Vince Warren: Are Housing Rights the New Human Rights?

May, 2010From GritTV.org: Should housing rights be considered civil and human rights? Even though critics claim that housing shortages are crosses to bear, one can?t solve foreclosures without first investigating problems behind public housing and homelessness.
